Dylan Roberton

[SaintPav]

Is still unsigned according to reports.

Is it time to worry?

[MickThomas]

and worrying will help, how?

[dragit]

You probably won't worry as you called him s***, like you did Ross, Dunstan, Gilbert, Long and pretty much every player on the list.

If we lose one of only 2 players we have in the AA squad it would be a disaster.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

I'm not worried. Apparently Ameet Bains is a tactical genius. Our meteroic rise up the ladder and
team stocked with medal-winning superstars proves it.

A+ for sarcasm.
Not one single rumour out there re. Roberton so I'm not worried.

[Yorkeys]

Manager hoping All Aussie selection would boost his price so stalling? Seems pretty solid with the program, but. Wasn't worried till you mentioned it. Worse case: you would want something special in return.

lol for the first bit.

He's genius, isn't he...

[#gosaintas]

He's signed up

[SaintPav]

He's signed up

Great news if true

When dis it happen?

Apparently imminent so you can redirect your sarcasm for another target WS

Also we need to re-sign Savage. He has been good in the last half of the year.

[parkeysainter]

He will get signed. No brainer.

Serious trade bait, I'm told. His form in the second half of the season pleased the club enormously. His value soared. Roberton must be signed, but I never doubt the Hawks ability to get a deal done. They've offered him plenty. I hope we keep him, but he must be tempted.

We don't have anybody to fill his shoes at the Saints- we cannot afford to lose this talent.

[parkeysainter]

Looking back. Great recruiting whoever spotted Roberton when Freo let him go. Pretty sure we got him as an undrafted free agent at a young age.

Yep, Freo delisted him after he requested a trade. We got him as a delisted free-agent.

What an absolute bargain he turned out to be. Now he is an integral part of our defence and we'll look stupid if we can't retain him.

Just match the offer. It's not like we don't have the capacity.

What can Hawthorn offer us?

I would offer the Hawks all of our picks if they would just take you off our hands once and for all
you slimy piece of dog excrement

You are told by whom? You are the only person who seems to know something.

[GregPackhamsHeadband]

A source from the Hawks. They have offered him 700k per year x3, which is way above what we've offered. I'd say that's what's causing the delay. He must be tempted by an offer like that. A young dad with three kids has a chance to set himself and his family up for life. The longer it goes, the more it starts to worry me. It is a very tempting offer. He might never get the chance again.

What is the hold up with signing robbo?

Hawks are moving to Dingley, which if I remember from my 34 years living in Melbourne, would be closer for Robbo than Moorabbin.
I would not hold it against him if he went for the money, because after all, a player has a limited tenure in the game.
He would certainly need to run it past his family, because quality of life...it costs several hundred thousand $$$ per child from birth to age 18.

I hope he stays, I really do, but if he follows the $$ then so be it.

Oh, this is not good news, if true. Sounds quite plausible to me. Can't help to feel that he'd have his sights set on donning the Poos&Wees Brigade now. What a bloody shame that would be

[Gershwin]

I just asked Ricky Nixon about it on twitter and his reply was "move him if they can".
